Ctrl + Alt + backspace did nothing, it seems like there is no connection with the keyboard at all - toggling Caps Lock does not put on the led for an example.

Making the laptop go to sleep can be achieved in many ways - one is the script from this Puppy thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1045443840&t=14467. To wake it up seems harder...

In other distros the acpi (or apm) directories have been installed/implemented, I don know if that might be a clue...???

I might add that at resume when I open the lid or press the power on button the hard disk turns on, the screen flashes and turn s black and the keyboard is "disconnected" - only a violent power off helps...

I don't know if it works (not having tested it), but the screenshots of Rudy 2.14 have a suspend shortcut on the desktop. Maybe check with the makers of that derivative, to see if it works there?_________________aspiring hacker trapped in the mind of a linux noob, using Puppy 2.14 multisesson DVD on Dell XPS M1210

I can suspend and resume successfully if I don't have many programs open. I have noticed that if I suspend for a long time, resume is inconsistent. Sometimes I have to do the ctrl-alt-f3 thing, but not often.

I tried some of the suspend scripts from users in the forum, but also waking up wasn't consistently successful.

I think the problem has something to do with the X session. I just haven't tested it, but I will. Probably if I kill X and suspend, resume will be consistent.

It still stinks to have to have to re-launch programs. I haven't booted Windows for months, but this weekend I did and the resume from suspend/hibernation made me really want something as consistent in my primary OS.

Bug-free suspend and resume is high on my wish list. Wish I were skilled enough to figure it out.
